Dora Carrington 1893 - 1932
An Artist who covered many surfaces besides canvas with paint - signs - walls - fireplaces - glass - ceramics - cabinets - did woodcuts - etc. etc. she never signed her work and painted mostly for her own pleasure. She was a force of nature - the model for many characters in the novels of DH Lawrence, Aldous Huxley, Wyndham-Lewis.....
She lived with Lytton Strachey for seventeen years and ended her life shortly after he died.
